"Accompanying the artist's first American retrospective in more than thirty years, The Baroque World of Fernando Botero is
the most extensive study of his life and work to date. Drawn exclusively from Botero's private collection, the one hundred
works featured in this book, including previously unpublished paintings and drawings, represent the full scope of his oeuvre
from a uniquely personal perspective. Many of these - portraits of friends and family members and remembered scenes - have
remained in the artist's possession since their creation, while others he has bought back over the years as markers of significant
developments in his career. Three essays examine the artist's creative life, from the aesthetic environment in which Botero
developed his unique style to his catalyzing influence on the Colombian art world of the 1960s and '70s."--Jacket

This volume accompanies an exhibition organized and circulated by Art Services International. The Norwegian artist Edward
Munch has had the misfortune of being labeled a woman-hater. Tempering that myth is the mission of this catalogue and the
accompanying exhibition. The book provides extensive evidence of Munch's varied relationships with women who were members
of his family, friends, lovers, patrons and subjects of his work. Some of these alliances were loving, some were social, and
at least one passion ended in bitter tragedy. Munch and Women: Image and Myth places the artist's friendships into a unified
perspective, belying the myth that Munch was a mysogynist. In all 71 prints and drawings are part of this exhibition

Angels have had an all-pervasive presence in the collective artistic and religious expressions of the Western world. From
the beginning of humanity's recorded encounters with the divine, they have made their appearance as messengers, intermediaries,
guides, and protectors. In this sumptuous book, treasures from the extensive collections of the Vatican in Rome show how,
through the ages, artists have represented the invisible, spiritual begins known as angels. This volume illuminates images
of angels from Byzantine, Renaissance, Baroque, and modern Wester art as well as winged figures from the time of the Assyrians,
Etruscans, and Romans. A preface by His Holiness Pope John Paul II introduces this fascinating look at the extraordinary variety
of ways in which artists have made visible the spiritual beings known as angels

"Thomas Holloway, a self-made English multi-millionaire, embarked upon a carefully orchestrated purchasing spree during the
last years of his life, amassing a remarkable collection of modern paintings. This collection was the final enhancement to
Holloway's generous endowment of a College for women, founded in 1879 and opened by Queen Victoria in 1886. The collection
was widely reported and attracted visitors from the start but, although individual paintings have appeared in major exhibitions
in Europe and the United States, this exhibition will enable American visitors to see the majority of these works for the
very first time." "The exhibition highlights sixty extraordinary paintings which not only exemplify the astute taste of a
late Victorian collector, but also represent some of the highest achievements in the figurative and landscape art of the nineteenth
century. This volume accompanies the exhibition, which was organized and circulated by Art Services International, Alexandra,
Virginia."--Jacket
